There is plenty of great horse racing across America today, including at Churchill Downs race track. We have been on fire with our picks for a long time now and we are now up +315.23 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!
Here are our best bets for today’s action at Churchill Downs.
12:45 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 1) – Injunction 2/1 (2-star play)
Injunction has demonstrated good form at Churchill Downs in recent times, winning 2 of his 3 starts there, including when scoring by a neck in an allowance optional claimer over a mile and 1/16th last month.
Today’s shorter distance is no issue as he performed well when runner-up in a mile stakes contest at the track in May and he looks up to providing trainer Carlo Vaccarezza and jockey Rafael Bejarano with a winner in the opening race on the card.
3:18 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 6) – Gulfport 4/5 (3-star play)
A $275,000 purchase as a yearling at Fasig-Tipton last summer, the son of Uncle Mo made the perfect start to his racing career when ridden clear in the stretch in a 5-furlong maiden special weight to win by 7 lengths at this track last month.
Trainer Steve Asmussen knows what it takes to win this contest and his charge looks capable of maintaining his unbeaten record with a victory stepping up to Listed stakes company with Brian J Hernandez Jr up.
4:22 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 8) – Cody’s Wish 8/5 (2-star play)
The winner of 4 of his last 5 starts, the 4-year-old delivered a first Graded stakes success when taking out the Grade 3 Westchester Stakes over a mile on a sloppy main track at Belmont Park in May.
He has demonstrated good form in the mornings since, including when clocking a 48.81 4-furlong work on a muddy track at Saratoga a week ago. He represents a top trainer in Bill Mott and is selected to register a 4th win at this track.
